Your questions

Ask anything in the form, or write to admissions@lft.ca: our Admissions team replies in English or French.

Does my child need to speak French?

Not in Kindergarten: no French is required in Pre-K, JK and SK. From Grade 1 onwards, proficiency in French is required for admission.

How can we support our child with their homework, and could this be a disadvantage for them?

This is not a concern. Our teachers remain fully available to support each student directly. Children are encouraged and welcome to ask questions whenever needed, so a lack of French spoken at home does not place them at a disadvantage.

We are moving to Toronto. Can our child join mid-year?

Yes, mid-year applications are accepted within the limit of available places. Students coming from a French-accredited school are admitted on their most recent report cards, without an admission test.

What are the tuition fees?

You can find a detailed breakdown of tuition fees by grade here.
